Who needs Joint Care 3?
This formula gives you an advanced combination of ingredients and targets senior pets that have slowed down, dogs recovering from hip or joint surgery, and dogs that need a multi-faceted approach to healthy joints. It is for customers that trust the effectiveness of glucosamine, chondroitin, and MSM for healthy joints, but also want beneficial ingredients not found in other formulas. Joints are very complex living tissues, and their health is influenced by a number of factors. Joint Care 3 delivers the most advanced mix of key ingredients on the market - those supported by research to work at many levels within the joint.

Free radicals, for instance, constantly bombard a joint. Joint Care 3 contains more types of antioxidants at higher levels than Joint Care 2, to help ward off these free radicals. Joint Care 3 has perna mussel, which contains some of the building blocks of cartilage and synovial fluid. Joint Care 3 also contains ASUs to elevate this product head and shoulders above of the rest. Use with our Omega-3 Gel Caps to boost healthy joint support to the absolute max. Liver flavor. For dogs and cats.

Suggested Daily Use: Crumble and add to your pet's food. May take 4-6 weeks to see results. After a response is seen, product may be gradually reduced by up to one-half to a maintenance level. For pets requiring more than one tablet, divide between morning and evening.

Joint Care 3 is our powerhouse product for maximum support of healthy joints and cartilage. It contains glucosamine HCL (hydrochloride), a naturally occurring ingredient in the bodies of both humans and domestic animals, that is one of the essential building blocks of cartilage. Glucosamine is also a necessary ingredient within the body for the maintenance of joint fluid (synovial fluid). Joint fluid is necessary to provide lubrication and nutrients to the joint tissues. Chondroitin sulfate, similar to glucosamine hydrochloride, is essential in the production and repair of cartilage and other tissues. Joint Care 3 is also formulated with manganese, used by the body in the synthesis of cartilage and joint fluid. Joint Care 3 also contains MSM, an organic source of sulfur found in all living organisms. Green-lipped perna mussel also contains building blocks of cartilage. Hyaluronic acid is an important component of joint fluid. Soybean and avocado oil extracts also help in the building of cartilage. Vitamin C, Vitamin E and citrus bioflavonoids are included as antioxidants.

Joint Care Level 3 should be fed for a minimum of eight weeks to develop peak effect and then continuously thereafter, though the amount used can sometimes be decreased. Most patients will begin responding within this time frame. For dogs and cats.

How the key ingredients work:

Research has demonstrated that Avocado & Soybean Unsaponifiables (ASUs) support joint function and healthy cartilage in multiple ways. ASUs increase the effectiveness of glucosamine, and work at the biochemical level in the cartilage-producing cells and enzyme systems in the healthy joint.

Both glucosamine and chondroitin are building blocks of cartilage. Chondroitin also is necessary for the production of joint fluid which lubricates and protects the joints. Glucosamine and chondroitin work synergistically - increasing the effectiveness of each other.

Perna mussel contains glucosamine and glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), the main components of cartilage and synovial fluid found in joints.

Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) is an organic form of sulfur used for normal cartilage production.

Quercetin, Vitamin C, Vitamin E and zinc are powerful antioxidants that aid in the support the body's normal immune defenses. Manganese is also an antioxidant and helps normal bone development and production of cartilage.

Zinc is necessary for the body's regulatory functions and works with enzymes necessary for cell health and metabolism.

Bromelain and boswellia support the normal regulation of the immune system, which affects joint health.

CAUTIONS: administer after the animal has eaten to reduce the incidence of gastrointestinal upsets. Use this product with caution in patients with a history of clotting disorders, diabetes, metabolic disorders associated with hyprerglycemia, urinary tract stones and allergy to shellfish. Safe use in pregnant animals or animals intended for breeding has not been evaluated.

STORAGE: Store tightly closed in a cool, dry place at room temperature. Do not expose to excessive heat, moisture or light.

WARNING: For animal use only. Keep out of reach of children and pets to avoid unwanted consumption. In case of accidental overdose; contact a health professional immediately.

Great formula
I switched my 10 year old black to another product & saw her going downhill fast. Wondered if she would perk up back on the Foster & Smith formula & boy, did she! She perked up almost immediately. I'm so glad to see her enjoying life again.

The best we've found!
We have been using Joint Care products from Drs. Foster & Smith for our Vizslas for over 15 years. Vizslas are very high energy dogs and, well cared for, can live long active lives. Our 2 males lived to be 15 and 16 respectively. We have used the Joint Care 3 tablets from when they each reached the age of 7 and on. We tried other joint care products but either they upset our dogs' stomachs or the results were not noticeable. Our most recent Vizsla, Cassi Rae, was already 7 when we rescued her. We immediately began her on a home cooked diet, including healthy supplements like Prozyme and bone meal powder, and Joint Care 3. She will be 9 this month and she is as active as any puppy. I can't think of a better birthday present than to give your dog every opportunity to thrive, and Joint Care 3 adds to a successful healthy regimen!

This is a great product.
My 9 lb. dog was having knee problems that the vet said would need surgery and would cost several thousand dollars. The knee would pop out and my dog would cry or walk on three legs until it popped back in. This was a daily occurrence. I did a little research and found this product. In only a week or two my dogs knee was no longer going out place. He has only had one incident that I can remember since we started him on this 2 years ago. Seriously, this stuff works!

Answer:

My 9lb dog has the same problem and this product took care of it. He's been on the Joint Care for a couple years now and has only had one incident, that I can remember, of the knee going out. I wouldn't be without this product.
